The simple object of handicapping is to find winning horses that return enough value when they win to offset your ALL your wagers, including all your lost wagers. To do this there are two simple strategies that work, first -betting fast horses that are missed by the betting public and second – finding slower horses that can jump up to run fast enough to win. No product I have seen, comes close to the Power Page. Yesterday’s Power Pages provided a clear example of it’s effectiveness, with the TOP-RATED horses winning 11 of 21 races at Belmont and Hollywood. With results like that you don’t even have to handicap, but that’s not what I am aiming for. However, after YOU HAVE found the right value horse yesterday, your exacta “turns” simply with the top rated horse made you a winner in 12 of the 21 races, with 11 wins and 1 place finish, where at Belmont the top rated horse won 7 times and placed 1 time. But beyond that, at Hollywood boxing the top 4 horses in trifectas yeilded 6 wins on the card for a total of winning $671.10 wile only costing $240.00 to cover all the races. My point is this, the Power Page orders the finish of races as well as any handicapping in the public sector. You as a handicapper can adjust the PPN’s (projected power numbers) on the Power Page and IMPROVE them to make great value decisions. Then you can bet your value horse to win or win/place and build very effective exotics by simply going directly back to the Power Page and using the top 3 or 4 horses….Pretty amazing! Bye-the-way the STAR horse yielded a nice littel profit of $16.90 on $16.00 invested so it should have helped to be a huge winner on yesterday’s play…If you haven’t tried the Power Page and you are a handicapper, you are really missing something special to build your play off of…
Today’s Free Play at Hollywood…Race #6..STAR NICHOLAS at 12/1 is an automatic pop-out-key for me…I like to win/place my double digit KEY horses and play some obvious exactas and reverses using Truest Legend , Gusn on Teh Table and Hard Bill and ADD-IN any big priced horses you have a feeling on as well…Good Luck and Happy 4th of July…
(reprint from twoweek ago)…Apparantly their has been controversy over Zenyatta on the Internet. I received many e-mails…so here is my take on Zenyatta…She’s as good as good ever has gotten…read on
On Zenyatta : I have now become so enamored with Zenyatta, I consider her to be one of my 5 all time greatest racehorses. Since I started playing horses in 1976 and was only a casual observer before 1976, I simply won’t go back before that time, with one obvious exception. Also, I am only commenting on horses that have raced here in the USA. So before 1976 I am including Secretariat as one of my 5 greatest horses, I did see him run many times, as did most people who were into sports and in their 20’s during the 1970, so I fee very comfortable including him. So really this is a discussion of the 5 greatest horses AFTER SECRETARIAT. Furthermore, I make almost no distinction between the top 5, they all had their various strengths. In fact they were all really really strong and they all have 1 similiarity, they gave weight away to the competition and beat them doing their thing. Seattle Slew on the front and Zenyatta coming from behind. So here are the top 5 in my book in chronological order: SECRETARIAT, FOREGO, SEATTLE SLEW, AFFIRMED AND ZENYATTA.
